It’s actually more Norman-English. The “Fitz” prefix comes from the French “fils” (from Latin “filius”) and means “son of”. “Gerald” is a Norse-Germanic name meaning “rule of the spear”.

Half white and more Arab than African. [Maybe] Half white. Keep in mind that we have never seen a VALID COLB. Without one, there's no proof (at best circumstantial evidence) that he is in fact the child of Stanley Ann Dunham.

“Fitz” does mean “son of” but mostly in the context of “bastard son of.”

Thanks for your input on the origin of Fitzgerald.
I'm currently reading a book on Rose Kennedy, it's a recently released biography. Picked it up at the local library as a skim read type project but it turns out to be fairly interesting reading. She was a Fitzgerald.

I know a guy named Seidenberg who has Irish relatives. And no, it’s not a variation of the old Irish name O’Seidenberg. Their forbears were German Jews who went from Germany to Ireland as exchange students in the early 1930’s. For some strange reason, they didn’t go back to Germany. Their descendants are thoroughly Irish.
